current state of UI + semantic web

[shnydercom]

Hi, I found this group while looking for projects that approach semantic web from the UI side. Is the list still kind of up-to-date or are there new developments in this direction?

i'm experimenting here: https://github.com/koo5/QuadLad/tree/master/src and i keep another list too... it's nice to learn about your project(s), wanna skype sometime?

That looks interesting! I haven't seen many svelte projects yet, if I see that correctly you're approaching it from the data-side? Would be great to have a skype call, when is it good for you?

I've tried to tackle it from the design/UX - side, trying to create an editor similar to node-red or blender's node editor. My main User Research findings so far:

• non-technical users want a WYSIWYG-experience, like in Wix or Wordpress.
• Node-Red's popular nodes are often ui-nodes and dashboard-elements. Drag&drop of features and UI element-previews are currently an industry standard
• only advanced blender users try the node editor
• copy&paste-ability of user creations drives forum posts and is a good entry point for facebook communities. Actually any point where entry level users seek help. At the same time it's good to demonstrate the versatility of an approach like grass and rocks on a sphere instead of a plane
